Nuance (or Nijansa on Serbian) is a fierce warrior from the Balkans. Not much is known about her, but there are rumors that she was abandoned as a child and raised by wolves. Rabid wolves. Wolves who were abandoned as children. I mean as cubs. And, um, raised by dragons. Or giants. Or giant dragons, something like that. Serb myths are often exaggerated, so take them with a pinch of salt.

The story goes that Nuance, when she was 12, started training in the ways of the samurai by a wandering gigantic wizard drag.... em, a wandering martial arts expert from the far east who was trying to escape civilization and live in solitude (what better place for that then Serbia, eh?) and was either abandoned as a child and raised by wolves or was magical in nature. Whatever the case, he was really deep and spiritual.

After years of training and drinking wolf tit-milk, Nuance was set loose on the unsuspecting world. Her tutor equipped her with two weapons - a Katana named "Fang" and claw-like knuckle-mounted blades. Years later, stained only by the blood of numerous foes, they remain her closest friends.

Nuance usually brings her opponents to near death with lightning-fast cuts then finishes them off with her sword. She is a powerful and skilled fighter who doesn't talk much (hey, after all, she was raised by friggin' wolves) but lets her weapons communicate her thoughts instead.

Looking forward to test her skills and have epic Serb poems written about her deeds, Nuance is always ready for a good fight. Or at least one that can be presented with the monotonous tones of 'gusle' (Serb national instrument and wolf head smasher - [link])
